IC RecorderICD-UX532/UX533/UX533F/UX534F

The battery life is short.

  • The battery life listed in this Help Guide is based on playback with the volume level set to 23. The battery life may shorten depending on the operation of the IC recorder.
  • Even if you do not use the IC recorder, the battery is consumed slightly. If you do not intend to use the IC recorder for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you turn the power off or remove the battery. Moreover, if you set “Auto Power Off” to a short span in the menu, you can prevent the battery from being consumed due to forgetting to turn the IC recorder off.
  • The battery indicator is displayed only for a short time, however, the rechargeable battery is not charged completely. It takes about 3 hours 30 minutes to fully charge an exhausted battery (ICD-UX533/UX533F/UX534F only).
  • The IC recorder has not been used for a certain time. Charge and discharge the rechargeable battery using the IC recorder several times (ICD-UX533/UX533F/UX534F only).
  • You are using the rechargeable battery in an environment with a temperature of under 5 °C (41 ºF). Battery life becomes shorter as a result of the battery characteristics. This is not a malfunction.
  • The rechargeable battery has deteriorated.

    The supplied rechargeable battery can be charged about 1,000 times (this depends on the environment where the IC recorder is used). If the length of time that the IC recorder can be used approximates only half of the normal time, even after the rechargeable battery is fully charged, replace the battery with a new one (not supplied) (ICD-UX533/UX533F/UX534F only).
